my tablet was stolen by one of eight roommates in different rooms in my house. I had used it before it was stolen, so my router at home has the device and its MAC address saved on it , cisco router, cox cable modem... need that address but I only know how to acces that info on netgear router.. also I do not have login info for router...OR I need to know how else I can search for (or ping) my tablet to see if it is on my network or online/ any ideas? I very computer savvy, but this should be fairly easy but not getting it , today.. help, please?!
thanks

If you don't have the login info, then its not 'your router'.

The router info page will list all the devices and their MAC address. But if you can't get into that...

And that won't tell you where it is. Only that it has/had been connected at one time.
